The Jasmine Flower
Ride
I don't know if I took a wrong turn
Cause the birds don't fly low like they used to
The water's rising but I'm bone dry
And I don't come for you like I used to
And I need a stranger to tell me I'm beautiful
I wanna hold onto nothing and ride
Like the cinnamon girl
Like a butterfly
Just hold onto nothing
And ride
Well sometimes I'm hungry for the warmth of a body
Like a flame that could feed me or keep me alive
I done the right thing but I'm incomplete
I need something to explode inside
And I need a stranger to tell me I'm beautiful
I wanna hold onto nothing and ride
Like the cinnamon girl
Like a butterfly
Just hold onto nothing
And ride
Hold onto nothing
And ride
Onto Georgia O'Keeffe's skies
Over red earth plains
Where the desert raven flies
Where the truth remains
Let me ride
Yeah
Ride, ride
'Cause I need a stranger to tell me I'm beautiful
I wanna hold onto nothing and ride
Like the cinnamon girl
Like a butterfly
Just hold onto nothing
And I need a stranger to tell me I'm beautiful
I wanna hold onto nothing and ride
Like the cinnamon girl
Like a butterfly
Hold onto nothing
Yeah, I need a stranger to tell me I'm beautiful
I wanna hold onto nothing and nothing and nothing
Yeah, hold onto nothing
And ride
Hold onto nothing
And ride
Hold onto nothing
Beautiful Storm
There is a light that catches my eye in the morning
And I see it now
There aren't any saints, it dreams like it paints
It's a beautiful storm, it comes with no warning at all
I walk the line, tripping each time, and I stumble
But now that I'm half gone
The world's on the table, I'm willing and able
This beautiful storm, it comes with no warning at all
And you stand in the shadows
The room, dark and narrow
I bloom down to the marrow
It's a beautiful storm
It comes with no warning at all
Into the flesh
Into the sorrow I fall now
Waves coming on
And I'm soaked and I'm torn
I'm blissed out and worn
And this beautiful storm
It comes with no warning
And you stand in the shadows
The room, dark and narrow
I bloom down to the marrow
It's a beautiful storm
It comes with no warning
And I, how will I ever tell you that I want you
Oh how will I ever touch you like I long to
You just blow right through me
You stand in the shadows
The room, dark and narrow
I bloom down to the marrow
It's a beautiful storm
It comes with no warning
And you stand in the shadows
The room, dark and narrow
I bloom down to the marrow
It's a beautiful storm
It comes with no warning at all
Maybe Tomorrow
When you touch me, I feel lonely
I don't know how to let you into me
It's been coming now for a long time
It's been coming now for a long time
Is there some way to reach my Hebrides
Burn a light on the headland, lonely seas
We've been rolling on for a long time
We've been rolling on for a long time
Oh maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
Oh maybe the wild rose will be all mine to give you
Oh maybe soon
I've been out on the birdland, got no wings
I've been calling the nighthawk, hope she sings
It's been coming now for a long time
It's been coming now for a long time
Oh maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
Oh maybe the wild rose will be all mine to give you
Oh maybe tomorrow the sun will shine
Oh maybe the wild rose will be all mine to give you
Oh maybe soon, oh maybe soon
Out On A Limb
I'm looking through to what this all comes down to
I'm looking for just a little more, a taste of happiness
This world keeps spinning me around, I can't see clearly
I got no way to find the ground and I've gotta move on
But what if I fall
What if I fail
What if I find I'm out on a limb
And what if I fly
What if I sail
What if I find that it's better than ever before
Red sky at night, you tell me there's good yet to come
I think I might find a little more, a taste of happiness
I've built these walls around myself, I can't see over
And all these lines I tell myself, so I don't have to try
Cause what if I fall
What if I fail
What if I find I'm out on a limb
And what if I fly
What if I sail
What if I find that it's better than ever before
Cause what if I fall
What if I fail
What if I find I'm out on a limb
And what if I fly
What if I sail
What if I find that it's better than ever, yeah
What if I fall
What if I fail
What if I find I'm out on a limb
And what if I fly
What if I sail
What if I find that it's better than ever before
Better than ever before
Better than ever before
Every Soldier Is A Mother's Son
I keep a light in the window
Dark band on my heart
Some days are better than others
Mostly I'm falling apart
I keep his picture beside me
I see the dream in his eyes
I watch the light disappearing
Into unsettled skies
You say the world will be a better place
After this war is won
You say no sacrifice too great
But every soldier is a mother's son
I know he can't take the killing
And how it messes with his soul
I know the days are unending
When you're so far from home
You say the world will be a better place
After this war is won
You say no sacrifice too great
But every soldier is a mother's son
You say the world will be a better place
After this war is won
You say no sacrifice too great
But every soldier is a mother's son
No war that can be won
When every soldier is a mother's son
No war that can be won
When every soldier is a mother's son
I keep a light in the window
I keep a vigil inside
I say a prayer for those mothers
Across the enemy lines
You say the world will be a better place
After this war is won
You say no sacrifice too great
But every soldier is a mother's son
You say the world will be a better place
After this war is won
You say no sacrifice too great
But every soldier is a mother's son
Every soldier is a mother's son
Every soldier is a mother's son
Out In New Mexico
These walls around me and the days are long
I fill my lungs with a widow's song
I'm looking for a reason, feel the spirit rise
I see my life before me when I close my eyes
I picture a road out in New Mexico
Red earth and mountains and sky
I picture my soul out in New Mexico
With all that space rolling by
Sometimes I feel, in a world between
Everything I touch and everything I dream
Sometimes I long for the rose to bleed
For the spark to light in the depths of me
I picture a road out in New Mexico
Red earth and mountains and sky
I picture my soul out in New Mexico
With all that space rolling by
I'm so scared of what I'll find
If I let it go, if I look inside
I'm so scared of what I feel
If I let it go, if I make it real
I picture a road out in New Mexico
Red earth and mountains and sky
I picture my soul out in New Mexico
With all that space rolling by
With all that earth rolling by
With all these dreams rolling by
Leaving this life behind
Looking For The Light
I'm looking for the spirit in life
I'm looking for the beautiful
I'm looking for the sweetness
Let my heart be full
I seen the face of Buddha
I seen the face of time
I've heard the words of Jesus
But I can't find mine
I'm looking for the light
I'm looking for the light
I'm looking for the light
To light my way
I wanna hold it to me
I wanna catch the glow
I think I'm getting higher
Then I fall below
I find it in the skies sometimes
I find it in the dark sometimes
I find it in my mind sometimes
But I can't hold on
I'm looking for the light
I'm looking for the light
I'm looking for the light
To light my way
I'm looking for the light
I'm looking for the light
I'm looking for the light
To drive these doubts away
Hollow
What do you need to be high, to be here
I catch your eye, now I'm lost in the tears
And it's hollow, but it's beautiful too
In the shadows, with the light coming through
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down
What do you need to be warm, to be real
I found a photograph of how we used to feel
And I'm drifting, but I'm riding it too
In the silence, with your voice coming through
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down
I wanna feel, wanna find what you are
Now that it's dark, we can see by the stars
And it's hollow, but it's beautiful too
In the shadows, with the light coming through
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down
If I Should Die
If I should die and leave you here, just disappear
I know the sun will still shine
The day I'm gone, you'll carry on and on and on
And I know the sun will still shine
And if you wanna reach me
Just feel the sun in your face
And if you wanna hear me
Just sing out with your own voice
Life in each hour is delicate
As a jasmine flower in my hands
Just for this time
To kiss your face, to hold you now
To feel this grace
Just for this time
And if you wanna reach me
Just feel the sun in your face
And if you wanna hear me
Just sing out with your own voice
Cause I will always, I will always
I will always be a part of you
And love will always, love will always
Love will always, love will get you through
Yeah, I will always, I will always
I will always be a part of you
And love will always, love will always
Love will always, love will get you through
Say Something
Say something, let it fly
Darkness is here and so am I
Say something, I don't care
Just let the words spill everywhere
And I'll just lie awake and watch the stars
There is no one can take this night of ours
Except for you, so get it through to me
Say something, I believe
There's still a chance for this to breathe
Say something, make it real
And risk it all, for what you feel
And I'll just lie awake and watch the stars
There is no one can take this night of ours
Except for you, so get it through to me
Your silence is not golden
Your words have not been stolen
No matter, in my head
I hear the words you never said
And I'll just lie awake and watch the stars
There is no one can take this night of ours
Except for you
Follow Me In Grace
Dive in to a life
Fall in to the green
Out with my breath
Bursting unseen
Cradle you rock
Hold me in the deep
We all are lost
Searching and free
And to the little hearts
Hardly spoken
And to the wild hearts
Always fierce
Life, I don't know your ways
Life, follow me in grace
Crack in my voice
Where did you go
We've got no choice
Chariots swing low
And to the little hearts
Hardly spoken
And to the wild hearts
Always fierce
Life, I don't know your ways
Life, follow me in grace
Life, I don't know your ways
I will make mistakes
So follow me in grace
So follow me in grace
So follow me in grace
Always Christmas
Christmas is coming
Like a road I'm running
All the lights reminding me
There's something more I've got to give
Bells are ringing
In my head, I'm singing
Still I can't begin to feel the light
That I was meant to live
All of the places that I used to know
The million faces passing by
And you and I, we still have far to go
It's always, it's always, it's always Christmas
When I feel this way
It's always, it's always, it's always Christmas
When I feel this way
The night is silent
How the stars are vibrant
And I wish the world was peaceful
As it seems it is tonight
So hang the mistletoe
And kiss the one below
But pray the angels come
And bring this world a little light
All of the places that I used to know
The million faces passing by
And you and I, we still have far to go
It's always, it's always, it's always Christmas
When I feel this way
It's always, it's always, always Christmas
When I feel this way
All of the places that I used to know
The million faces passing by
And you and I, we still have far to go
It's always, it's always, it's always Christmas
When I feel this way
It's always, it's always, always Christmas
When I feel this way
It's always, it's always, always Christmas
When I feel this way
